You know what sucks about working evening/night shift?


Social life: What is that? Technically speaking, it doesn't exist! Hanging out with family/friends, shopping and attending parties become far-fetched ideas.

Ramadan: Nothing beats ghar ki aftaari. This shift takes away ammi kay haath kay pakoray and offers an aftaari box packed with soggy pakoras and roll, watery fruit salad and not-so-chill Rooh Afza.

Biological clock: It’s pretty much messed up. The “early to bed, early to rise” quote becomes obsolete.

Friends/Cousins: They just hate you. Enough said.

School: If you are studying and working, you are doomed. Juggling work and school is an ultimate test – a test you cannot fail, a test you cannot ace. Coming back home late and then getting up for early classes leave your head spinning for days.

Day off: It is just 24hours long (minus sleep hours). Too short for the activities you have lined up. Ummm, you waste it doing nothing.
